Ever notice how long it takes to get in shape and how quickly we can get out of shape? You gotta stick with it. Same with relationships. It means practicing forgiveness. It means pulling up the roots of bitterness, it means pursuing peace, it means seeking reconciliation. As you do these exercises, you grow stronger and your desire to take up offense will lessen. And through it all, God will bring healing to relationships, He will bring healing to your own soul, and He will bring maturity.

Scripture References: Luke 17:1, Hebrews 12:14-15
